Baby Doe Tabor: Matchless Silver Queen

Elizabeth Bonduel McCourt was born in 1854 in Wisconsin. She moved west, married a man named Harvey Doe, and came to be called â€œBabyâ€ by the miners in Central City, Colorado. After attracting the attention of wealthy â€œSilver Kingâ€ Horace Tabor of Leadville, she began a very public affair with Tabor ending with marriage in a private ceremony in 1882.

A lavish lifestyle followed but ended abruptly after fifteen years with loss of the Tabor fortune in the Silver Crash and Horace's death in 1899. Baby Doe spent the last thirty-five years of her life in a small cabin outside the Matchless Mine in Leadville.

â€œLohse has written a succinct and enjoyable history of what is perhaps the greatest rags-to-riches-to-rags story in the American Westâ€”how Baby Doe Tabor became the Matchless Silver Queen.â€œ
